Best: Probably Swansea surprisingly who played us off the park and won 2-0 but we have to play Utd yet. Spurs got hammered, Chelsea were as poor as we were but nicked it 2-1 anyway, City were playing against 10 men for 80 minutes and werent that impressive. Shout out to Liverpool and Fulham too though, and even Newcastle who got hammered 7-3 in the end but gave as good as they got for 70 minutes.

Worst: Reading last weekend were pure ****.

But what about Southampton ealier this season, it was 6-1. Could have been much more, terrific display from the gunners while Soton just weren't good enough.

Best: Going on results i'd have to say Chelsea. They won 4-0 and scored some screamers.

Worst: There is quite a few. Swansea were terrible and looked devoid of ideas and defensively they were clueless. Fulham fit into similar category at Swansea. But the stand out team were Reading. Truly and utterly woeful. It isn't often that a Stoke team outpasses anybody but we looked comfortable for the full 90 minutes. Reading offered nothing.

Best: Tottenham ... played some very good football and beat us 3-2. We played well too though second half, very entertaining game

Worst: Probably Wigan or QPR, they were terrible as ever. Or possibly Arsenal, the fact we only beat them 2-1 in the end was no indication of the match. They played even worse than the team that lost 8-2 the year before, we just weren't clinical in front of goal at all this time.

Best: Close between Barca and Juve... I'll go for Juventus because I didn't go to the Barca game. They didn't have particularly much of the ball (55/45% in our favour I'd say), instead they gave us space to pass it across our defence and have useless possession. However we couldn't get in behind them and were restricted to shots from 25 yards and one header. They were doing plenty of grappling in the box and various Italian Defensive Dark Arts, but were solid at the back and completely devastated us on the counter. A very intelligent, quality side.

Worst: Worst I was at was against Raith Rovers. The gulf in class was ridiculous, their fans were cheering when they won throw ins in our half and Hooper scored 4 times. Honourable mention goes to Inter, who were distinctly average in a preseason friendly and had to rely on a last minute equaliser. They've really fallen horribly from grace since 2009-10.
